Watch for
Jul–Aug (crowds/price spikes)
Spring (Mar–May): Mild, increasingly sunny weather and blooming parks make April–May a lovely shoulder season. Expect moderate crowds and lively farmers’ markets and garden tours. Summer (Jun–Aug): Warmest, driest months and peak tourism—ideal for canal walks and outdoor festivals, but accommodation and events fill up fast. Autumn (Sep–Nov): Cooler, often wet; September offers crisp, quiet days and better prices, while October hosts harvest-related fairs and Halloween activities in town. Winter (Dec–Feb): Cold, damp and largely off-peak except for pre-Christmas lights and markets; perfect for indoor heritage sites and lower rates outside the festive period.
